Should West Virginia be on their way to the SEC what would be the appropriate welcoming party for such an institution?  Couch burning is commonplace.  Moonshine flows.  The wild and wonderful Whites is an honest documentary instead of an exaggerated snapshot of a nonexistent stereotype.  Mountains have been plowed and mined by locals supplying the world with energy while local communities remain poor.  Something like a red carpet is in order, but what is actually fitting?  I imagine Orson or the EDSBS community has something to offer.  I would gladly welcome West Virginia to the madness of the SEC.  It feels like (should it happen)  a long lost brother (or cousin, insert incest jokes here) stolen at birth only to be forcibly given back by the thief mother to the true mother out of in ability to raise him in high society.  And we are glad you're back brother. 

And yes I am aware of West Virginia's origins regarding its statehood when it comes to Civil War history.

Still, you are welcome here.
